→Canada and circumcision in the 21st century: typo,
At the beginning of the 21st Century, only the Manitoba Health Insurance Plan (HIP) still paid for non-therapeutic circumcision, however that was ended in 2006.
The [https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health.html Public Health Agency of Canada] carried out a survey of mothermothers' birth experiences in 2006-7. Item 38 was male infant non-therapeutic circumcision.(See pages 224-5.)
<blockquote>
Among women with a male baby, 31.9% (95% CI: 30.3–33.6) reported circumcising their baby. There was marked regional variation in circumcision. In the 10 jurisdictions in which at least five circumcisions were reported, the proportion of women who reported having their male baby circumcised ranged from 44.3% (95% CI: 39.2–49.4) in Alberta and 43.7% (95% CI: 40.6–46.8) in Ontario to 9.7%† (95% CI: 5.2–14.2) in the Northwest Territories and 6.8%† (95% CI: 3.6–10.0) in Nova Scotia.<ref>{{REFdocument
